Welcome home to the old Syndicate Trust building now called the Syndicate Condominiums. The property is located between 9th and 10th Streets on Olive.

This beautiful building is hailed by many as one of the greatest examples of Chicago School architecture in all of St. Louis.

Designed by Eames & Young with Harry Roach in 1907, this grand tower is covered with lavish terra cotta ornament from its store-fronted ground floor to its handsome cornice.

It once housed the upscale department store of Scruggs-Vandervoot-Barney and now finds new life rising 17 stories high as downtown St. Louis' most luxurious condominiums.

Residents are afforded the convenience of living above the Schnuck's grocery store with a full service CVS pharmacy, terrific collection of craft beers, deli, produce and fresh bakery.

Added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 2002, the Syndicate is a fascinating reminder of turn of the century construction and know how.
